Sickly Scholar sneered, "If you don't help me, I won't be able to get out. Take a good look outside. " Han Mingxi quickly floated to the window and looked outside. The distant scenery was faintly discernible in the rain, but there was a faint strange fragrance in the air. Ye Li pulled Han Mingxi away and closed the window. Sickly Scholar looked at Ye Li and nodded, "I was right, Young Master Chu also has a good understanding of poisons." Ye Li shook her head, "I don't know much about poisons, but a few days ago, I was drugged by a kind of knockout drug from Nan Jiang, so I was more vigilant."
Ye Li carefully recalled the situation at that time when she fell into Ye Yue's hands. Finally, she determined that Ye Yue didn't poison her after she entered the hall, but the knockout drug was placed there from the beginning. There were two half-opened pots of orchids placed at the entrance of Yaohua Palace, and there were two pots of the same orchids placed in the hall. Later, in the small courtyard where Mo Jingli imprisoned her, she also saw the same orchids. Of course, maybe they weren't orchids, but just looked like them.
Sickly Scholar said, "Our path up the mountain has been cut off, and the flowers on the hillside outside … Young Master Han, it doesn't matter if you smell it now, it's not a big deal. This poisonous flower is only effective during the day, and it's sunny. But once the rain stops, the fragrance of the flowers will become highly toxic, making it difficult for people to move. "Han Mingxi looked at him and said," Do you have an antidote? "
Sickly Scholar proudly said, "It's just a small poison, what's so difficult about it?"
Han Mingxi went back to his seat and sat down, "So, unless we are willing to help you, you won't give us the antidote?" Why don't we go down the mountain before the rain stops? "Sickly Scholar laughed and said," People who practice martial arts naturally don't have to worry about whether there's a path to walk on or off the mountain. You can go out and give it a try. It's the same as luring the people and the poisonous insects away. " Han Mingxi recalled the densely packed group of snakes last night and felt goosebumps all over his body. He quickly rubbed his arms and looked at Ye Li.
Ye Li stood with her hands behind her back and said indifferently, "Then I can assume that Young Master not only has the antidote to deal with those poisonous flowers and plants, but also has a way to deal with poisonous snakes and insects. And all we have to do is deal with those people, right? "
Sickly Scholar nodded in a good mood. "Not bad." Her unhappiness from being poked in her weak spot finally dissipated a little. The murderous look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Li also gradually dissipated. Ye Li pondered for a moment before nodding, "I can promise you."
"Hey, Junwei, aren't you afraid that he will go back on his word and kill you?" Han Mingxi reminded her in a low voice. Sickly Scholar was not a kind person. Ye Li smiled, "I believe in the promise of the Yanwang Chamber's Third Master."
"In that case, it's a deal."
Hey, hey … does that guy have such a thing as credibility?
After more than an hour, the rain finally stopped. The rain in Nanjiang came quickly and the sky cleared quickly. Not long after the rain stopped, the warm sunlight sprinkled over the earth. The ground that had just been washed by the rain emitted a fresh smell of soil. If it wasn't for the pervasive fragrance, it would be even more wonderful. As soon as the rain stopped, An San came out from inside. She glanced at the three people in the hall, two sitting and one standing. She didn't look surprised that there was an extra person. Ye Li pointed to the dry food on the table and said, "Let's fill our stomachs first. I don't think Master will bring us breakfast today."
An San nodded and sat down. Under the gazes of the three people, she unhurriedly filled her stomach. Sickly Scholar looked at An San's slow chewing with great interest. He smiled at Ye Li and said, "Young Master Chu has an expert like Guard Zhuo protecting him. No wonder he dares to come to Nanjiang alone. Brother Zhuo, what did you just say? You didn't sleep last night? " An San looked up at him and said indifferently, "Young Master only has me by his side. Naturally, he has to be careful." Sickly Scholar's eyes darkened. It wasn't easy to have a guard like this. From what Zhuo Jing said, Chu Junwei usually had a lot of people by his side. Now that he had only one guard, it was special. Then … this Chu Junwei's identity was probably not ordinary. He glanced indifferently at Han Mingxi. Someone who could be friends with the younger brother of the Tianyi Pavilion's master was naturally not an ordinary person.
Sensing Sickly Scholar's probing gaze, Han Mingxi smiled innocently at him. Don't ask him. He also didn't know Chu Junwei's identity.
The four of them tidied up and left the small building. The sunlight outside was just right. The fragrance of flowers in the air was getting stronger. However, with the antidote provided by Sickly Scholar, it didn't have any effect on the four of them. When they returned to the small building next door, Master Liang, the steward, and the guard called Zheng Kui were indeed gone. Han Mingxi looked at Sickly Scholar with schadenfreude. "It seems they've been gone for at least two hours. How are you going to find them now?" As long as they had someone familiar with the terrain leading the way, two hours was enough for them to escape far away, even if it was raining. Sickly Scholar's lips curved into a cold smile. He said indifferently, "As long as they're still in Nanjiang, they won't be able to escape from my grasp. Besides … why do you think they're waiting for us here? The place they're going to is definitely less than twenty li away from here. "
Sickly Scholar leisurely took out a small box from his pocket. He opened it and a small green moth flew out. The moth flapped its wings twice. It stopped for a moment on a small porcelain bottle in Sickly Scholar's hand. It then flew up again and flew into the depths of the village. "Let's go." Sickly Scholar said to the three of them. He was satisfied with the small medicine bottle.
The three of them followed behind the little moth. The entire village was empty. It was too dark last night and no one noticed. In this village, other than the two small buildings they lived in, the other buildings were very simple. It didn't look like a village where the common people gathered. It looked more like a temporary stronghold. The moth flew all the way into the depths of the mountain. Along the way, countless venomous snakes and insects were killed or injured by the Sickly Scholar's overbearing poison. Without anyone deliberately controlling them, these snakes and insects also knew how to avoid harm and seek benefits, so they didn't attack them in groups. After walking for more than an hour, the moth stopped at the edge of a cliff. It lingered around Sickly Scholar and didn't want to go forward.
"Could it be that gongzi's moth led us the wrong way?" Han Mingxi laughed.
Sickly Scholar looked at him faintly. He put the little moth back into the box and said to Han Mingxi, "Go down."
"Go down?" Han Mingxi was startled. He quickly reacted and said with a face of disbelief, "You're asking me to go down?! Do you know where this is? This is Nan Jiang. Who knows how deep it is. Who knows if there are poisonous snakes or monsters. You want me to go down?! "Sickly Scholar said," Your qinggong is the best. How about you let Chu gongzi go down first? " Han Mingxi's handsome face was pale as he looked at Sickly Scholar carelessly touching his left hand. He then looked at Ye Li and An San who were standing to the side. Although they hadn't known each other for long, Han Mingxi still knew that Jun Wei's qinggong wasn't that good. If something happened down there, it would be too late to escape. He snorted, "Go down then, just you wait!" When you open up Nan Jiang, this gongzi will kill you!
